Occurs when a person is given prepared antibodies.

Mouth (3)

1. Teeth mash food for passage down esophagus


2. Salivary glands produce juices to add to the food to make it into a swallowable material

2. Swallowing

Esophagus (1)

Lumen: open part of tube

Stomach (3)

1. Low pH for killing bacteria not for digestion


2. Very little digestion occurs in stomach


3. It's function is to help break up the food so that it can move down the rest of the tube easily

Small Intestine (8)

1. Most digestion occurs here


2. Most absorption occurs here


3. Digestive enzymes come from pancreas such as pancreatic amylase, trypsin, and lipase


4. Liver provides bile to help digest fats


5. Absorption surface high due to villi and microvilli


6. Amino Acids and glucose go into capillaries while fat goes into the lacteals


7. Digestion under nervous system and significant local hormonal control


8. Sodium bicarbonate from pancreas neutralizes all of the acid from the stomach

Liver (3)

1. Main biochemical processing paint


2. Hepatic portal system: all blood from digestive tract must flow through the liver first before going to the rest of the body


3. Regulates the composition of blood

Pancreas (1)

Besides producing digestive enzymes, the organ produces insulin and glucagon for glucose regulation

Large Intestine (2)

1. Principal area: water salt, vitamins absorbed


2. Indigestible waste is eliminated

General Urinary System (4)

1. Kidney


2. Ureters


3. Urinary Bladder


4. Urethra
